The small motor has been done for a few weeks now with hall effect sensors included. so here's a picture.

Looking back on the design its not half bad besides need for the mounting set up, next time the bearings will at least be flush with the motor face if not inset a bit. The next step in this project is to build a vehicle for this motor. I already have an idea in my head along the lines of a mini bike/ scooter, if you've ever seen The Worlds Fastest Indian this will will be a scooter more akin to the motorcycle in that movie rather than a normal bike where one sits more upright. In the mean time I have some bicycle frames to chop into usable tubing and some CADing to do. Also I have a couple side projects and random ideas to post about in the near future with include tranverse flux motors high power AC/DC converters.
